Q and 3, and I and in each end of A makecavities to receive these nibs shown in Fig. 5 to one of the handles therod c is firmly attached and passes through A and the other handle andhas a screw on its end on which fits the nut shown in Fig.

(5 which holds all together the nibs being firmly connected to thehandles prevent A from turning without tl rm and by slacking the screwand separa Iing the handles A may be removed and a new or different onesubstituted, between the nibs on each handle make a projectingferrule P,I), and a corresponding recess in each end of A these are to strengthenA at its middle line around the hole made for the rod C.

I am aware that it is common to secure handles to various tools by meansof a rod and screw and nut this I do not claim as my invention consistsin the holding the iniddle part by the others by means of the nibs ortheir equivalent.

IVhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,
